Peninsula: I created the golden age of girl groups

Can sing, but... can't write?

The group of people were immediately stunned.

This whole thing... sounds illogical, even absurd!

How could someone who can make such an exquisite adaptation of a well-established work be completely ignorant of the most basic music theory?

Could it be... that there are other people hiding behind Jiang Yuhe?

Is Jiang Yuhe merely a mouthpiece?

This idea almost simultaneously sprouted in the minds of several bigwigs.

But if that's really the case... then what is his purpose in coming here in person today?

A test? A demonstration?

But Lee Soo-man is Lee Soo-man after all. He quickly suppressed the many thoughts in his mind, thought for a moment, and turned to look at Yoo Young-jin beside him.

"Youngjin, the recording studio... is everything alright? Is everything arranged?"

Yu Yongzhen also came to his senses at this moment and nodded quickly, "Yes, Chairman. Knowing that Yu He Xi was coming today, I specially had the best recording studio cleared out early this morning, and the equipment was also tested in advance and is ready to use at any time."

"Um."

Lee Soo-man nodded, then looked at Kang Woo-hyuk again, "Since Woo-hyuk-ssi is better at singing, why don't you move to the recording studio and sing the complete version you remember? Would that be alright?"

Although he spoke in a consultative tone, his underlying assertiveness was already evident.

This is undoubtedly the most direct way to verify its quality; let's put it to the test.

As for the melody, score, and other details, with so many professionals at SM, how could we possibly fail to replicate it?

Jiang Yuhe seemed to have anticipated this, showing no sign of difficulty on his face. "Yes, that's fine!"

"Then let's go together."

Lee Soo-man was the first to stand up, followed by Kim Young-min and Yoo Young-jin.

Seeing this, Yuri quickly stood up as well, and secretly glanced at Kang Woo-hyuk.

She didn't doubt that Jiang Yuhe couldn't sing it; after all, the melody from that night still echoed in her ears.

However, even when facing the company's top executives, she couldn't help but feel nervous for Jiang Yuhe.

……

The recording studio was bathed in warm, yellow light.

The enormous mixing console resembled a spaceship's control panel, with indicator lights of various colors flashing continuously.

This was Jiang Yuhe's first time entering such a professional recording studio.

But he didn't find it particularly novel; he simply glanced around the room silently before being led into the recording studio by staff and putting on headphones.

Outside the soundproof glass, Lee Soo-man, Kim Young-min, and Yoo Young-jin sat side by side in front of the mixing console, their expressions serious.

Yuri stood quietly to the side, her hands nervously clasped together in front of her.

"Then, Jiang Yuhe Xi."

Lee Soo-man leaned down and whispered into the microphone, "Then I'll trouble you. Considering that the original accompaniment might affect you, I won't play it this time. You just need to sing the whole song a cappella. You can start anytime."

Jiang Yuhe nodded, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

Then he opened his eyes again, faced the microphone, and began to sing a cappella.

There was no prelude, no build-up.

전해주고싶어슬픈시간이…

(I want to tell you about this time of sadness...)

다흩어진후에야들리지만…

(Although you can only hear it after everything has dispersed...)

The moment the first note flowed from his lips...

Outside the soundproof glass, the four people, who were originally sitting or standing with different expressions, all trembled slightly involuntarily.

If the fragmented pieces that Yuri sang from memory were like a fleeting glimpse of a masterpiece painting...

It is stunning, sparks the imagination, and makes one's heart itch with desire.

At this moment, Jiang Yuhe's complete a cappella performance, without any reservations, was like a masterpiece being completely unveiled, presented to everyone in a very real way!

The melody still has that familiar framework, but under Jiang Yuhe's reinterpretation, the flesh, bones, and even the soul of the whole song seem to have been reshaped and reborn!

The melody continues, and soon we reach the part that Yuri previously mentioned, which is also the climax of the song.

Without warning, Jiang Yuhe's voice suddenly rose.

이렇게까만밤홀로느끼는…

(In the lonely darkness of the night...)

그대의부드러운숨결이…

(I can feel your gentle breathing...)

이순간따스하게감겨오는모든

(The excitement that overwhelmed me at that very moment...)

나의떨림전할래…

(I want to tell you...)

At this moment, Jiang Yuhe seemed to be completely immersed in the world constructed by the song, without holding back.

Every transition in pitch, every breath control, the gradual build-up of emotion, and even the sudden burst of high notes…

And... his adapted lyrics, set against this brand-new melody, unleash a power that strikes straight to the heart...

This is how this song should be!

This is the perfect "Into the New World"!

At this moment, Kwon Yuri had already forgotten her nervousness, and unconsciously covered her mouth with her hands.

What flickered in his eyes, besides shock and emotion, was an almost devout worship!

It turns out that what Senior Jiang Yuhe casually hummed under the streetlight that day was really just the tip of the iceberg. It wasn't until her emotions erupted at this moment that she felt like she was truly appreciating the song again.

Yoo Young-jin's body was almost pressed against the soundproof glass, his eyes unfocused, frantically trying to capture every detail of the song.

Although Kim Young-min was not as sensitive to music as Yoo Young-jin, he was still shocked by the song's interpretation, which completely surpassed the original. His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he was clearly making quick calculations in his mind.

As for Lee Soo-man...

Although he remained seated upright with his back straight, his usually calm and unwavering eyes were now surprisingly bright, and upon closer inspection, it seemed that his body was trembling slightly.

Kang Woo-hyuk's performance continued.

His emotions became increasingly intense, and his control over his voice reached an outrageous level!

This is not just a good song, but a perfect performance that can be called a model!

More importantly... the singing skills that Jiang Yuhe is demonstrating at this moment.

Everyone looked blank: How could this be the singing ability of a variety show personality?

Not only is his breath control rock-solid, but his resonance is also extremely precise, his pitch is flawless, and his emotional expression is effortless...

This incredible singing ability has even surpassed many so-called professional singers!

What... what kind of monster is this?

Possessing unparalleled musical talent?

Is there really such terrifying singing ability?

But in the public's perception, he is just a... variety show personality?

Who's gone mad?

As the last note faded, Jiang Yuhe slowly opened his eyes and calmed his slightly rapid breathing, which had been a result of his complete immersion in the music.

Outside the soundproof glass, all was deathly silent.

Everyone seemed still immersed in the melody, and hadn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Lee Soo-man slowly released his clasped hands, looking at Kang Woo-hyuk with a complex expression.

This young man...

It seemed far more interesting, and also far more dangerous, than they had previously imagined.

Of course, it is also more valuable.

With this in mind, he immediately made a decision.
